Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1155870A2] In a four pen (12, 14, 16, 18) ink jet printer comprising cyan, yellow, magenta, and black inks, a clear liquid is applied to printed ink on a print medium (24) via a fifth pen (20), thereby fixing the colorants, which in turn improves the durability of the printed ink. The clear fixer fluid comprises at least one organic acid and, optionally, a salt of at least one polymeric acid.
